14 weeks

Well. This week was about picture perfect. I didn't move anything around and had some great discussions with my coach about lots of things. Apparently, I am NOT a three-days-in-a-row runner. Reserving Sunday for rest day was forcing my last run of the week to be my first run of the week (from Sunday to Monday) and I had a really hard time getting through 8 miles on Wednesday because of it. I decided to skip the Sunday run this week (that would have been 5 days of running) and move start fresh this coming Sunday with a 5k TT.

This week was a good mix. I started off with some tough runs and had some fun on the trainer in Zone 2.

I also learned that Zone 5 is meant to crush your soul and make you doubt the existence of mercy and grace. Finn ran his first 5k (and subsequently barfed all over my kitchen - I don't think he was ready for the leap from 2 to 3!).

Saturday was a 3:15 trainer ride and a launch party for John's athletes. We went to 8th Wonder Brewery and I got to meet some new people and catch up with some friends I hadn't seen in a while. I'm super grateful for this support system and really enjoyed my time with teammates (and NOT in spandex!).

I finished up the night with a date with my sweet hubby. We had sushi and coffee and talked (uninterrupted!) about lots of things. Sunday was a much-needed rest day. We did church and family stuff and Cub Scout stuff and enjoyed our day.

So there ya have it. Mileage for the week:

Swim - 2.9

Bike - 90

Run - 21
